Full critique for Crufts 2002
Show critique
Thanks for the super entry of a most favourite breed. It was a pleasure to have so many happy, talkative little characters on the table. Its hard to decide which direction the is taking on several particular points. Such a worrying number with ears set rather too high, quite a few totally upright shoulders, more than enough with either straight hind quarters or hocks that slope forward at the joint, and still quite a few with toplines rising withers to tail set. Despite the fore going minus points, there were sufficient to find line ups that pleased. The challenges for both CCs were really quite interesting.
